I'll spill the beans after marketing dept. does. As Steve says, Mike is busy in Africa. And I'm just plain busy with other stuff, working on that next-gen "whatever" and fighting Lou Gehrig's disease. Fortunately been somewhat successful at both. Would have done better with 48 hours a day instead of the regular 24 hour kind.
The F19 project was hatched between marketing dept. and the Saad/Yi singlefreaker team. These guys have really mastered singlefreakers and I was brought into the project so infrequently that I didn't know what the F19 was until I saw the ad copy. Now I know as much as the rest of y'all do, but not much more.
Mr. Saad (working together with marketing dept.) was pretty much the mastermind of the Euroteks, which after having been sleepers for a few months are finally being recognized for the superb machines they really are. Another project I occasionally stuck my nose into just to make sure that nobody was making a horrible screwup, and otherwise had little to do with.
Few things in life gratify me as much as being able to walk away from a job and to see it finished well by someone else whom I've trained. I myself didn't fall out of the sky, my own abilities are the product of other people's investments. I'll spare you the list, it's a very, very long one.
